Provincial Brain Computer Center.

Cafe on the fifth floor.

Whenever there is a "big event", an atmosphere similar to "watching football in a bar" will spontaneously form here, and a group of researchers from the brain-computer center gather together, chatting and eating various festive snacks while watching the live broadcast.

Occasionally, someone will drink.

Among the people who participated each time, the two professors, Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei, were regulars, and the two of them were responsible for most of the science popularization work.

After all...... This is the brain-computer center, in addition to Ye Ming, everyone's own work is still reflected in artificial intelligence, biomedicine, as well as computers and materials and other fields at the beginning of the establishment.

But today, the person in charge of presiding over the "onlookers" is not them, but Ye Ming.

Since Ye Ming wants to "mingle" with the masses in the lounge, the sofa throne facing the TV naturally has to be his.

"Here, here's the barbecue."

Tang Haowen and Zhou Xuchen were carrying a barbecue and a beer, and after they broke into the café in a hurry, the atmosphere became warm.

Ye Ming laughed when he saw everyone rolling up their sleeves and starting to roll up their strings: "Good guy, you do this every time?" ”

"Occasionally, occasionally." Zhou Xiangnan smiled, grabbed a handful of lamb skewers and handed it to Ye Ming: "Come and try the skewers in the vegetable market, the taste is very good." ”

"Well......" Ye Ming is a master of masturbation, as long as he tastes it, he knows the craft: "It's okay." ”

"By the way, what about the seventh sister? Why didn't you see it? Zhou Xiangnan glanced out of the door again and asked.

"The company has something to do, so I'll come later." Ye Ming was eating skewers while looking at the TV, at this time, the host of the aerospace department on the TV was holding the manuscript paper and chattering about it, and his mouth was turning over and over all the achievements of the probe in the past six months and the current preliminary analysis of the blue star.

For example, atmospheric composition, such as geographical analysis, such as vegetation guessing, biological environment, and so on.

The picture that really matters, that's not at all.

Ye Ming couldn't look at it anymore, and turned his head to look at the people who were looking at him with dry eyes: "Do you want to cut into the detector and take a look?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!" ”

Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei were even more flattering: "What you are waiting for is this!" ”

Ye Ming shook his head, smiled helplessly, and then told Aita to directly connect the picture inside the detector and the capsule probe to the TV, and made a split screen.

By the way, I also made a palm-sized window for the chattering host to play background sound.

"It's comfortable now." Zhou Xiangnan laughed and sat next to Ye Ming: "Mr. Ye, what do you say can be found on the ground this time?" ”

"It's hard to say." Ye Ming smiled and took the fast child handed to him by Zhou Xuchen, and picked up a piece of konjac.

"Oops...... What's so hard to say! Zhou Xiangnan became anxious when he heard this: "Look, we are not outsiders...... Don't want that kind of media! ”

Burst...... Ye Mingshu laughed.

He was able to return to the office today, firstly, because he couldn't help with this landing - this is a traditional spacecraft landing to the ground, and the real experts are on the space port.

The second reason is that Mogu, as the general person in charge of this ground biological experiment, took half of the biological and medical team of the institute to be stationed in the Xichang Center.

In the brain-computer center, there must always be someone in charge of things.

And as soon as he came back, Zhou Xiangnan and the others were immediately overjoyed.

Because in their eyes, Ye Ming is an omniscient existence, which can just satisfy their curiosity.

"Actually, it's similar to the outside world." After laughing, Ye Ming coughed lightly: "At present, according to the spectral analysis, the rough result is that the atmospheric composition of the Azure Star is similar to that of the Earth, but it is at a high level of oxygen content. ”

"Hmm...... It is somewhat similar to the level of the Carboniferous and early Permian periods of the earth, with about 35% of it, which is considered a natural oxygen. ”

Sheng Fei immediately said: "Is the biosphere still dominated by large-sized insects?" ”

"There's speculation at the moment."

"What about how organisms are named and classified? Will you consider using the outline of the earth? ”

"It depends on the evolution of the biosphere and how similar it is to the Earth's biosphere." Ye Ming shook his head as he spoke, and said cautiously: "At present, the entire biological world is arguing, but the specific details will not be known until after the detection." ”

At this time, Tang Haowen asked curiously: "Professor Ye, the DNA of the Azure Star Biosphere and the DNA of the Earth's Biosphere...... How much acquaintance do you have? ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Ye Ming.

——When it was known that there were creatures in the blue star, or when the probe passed, the genes of the blue star people and the genes of the entire blue star ecology became the focus of science enthusiasts all over the world.

Because humans are desperate to know if extraterrestrial creatures, or extraterrestrial carbon-based creatures, are genetically governed just like humans.

This question remains unanswered until the intact body is found.

However, after finding the corpse of the Azure Star Man and conducting a brief analysis of it, the scientific research team did not give any genetic information.

Even if the reporter asked, Ye Ming answered with a smile at that time.

Now, the probe's exploration work in space has come to an end, leaving only a few engineering robots to perform some surface data collection tasks in places where the lighting conditions are optimal, and the main body of the probe will land and make the most intimate contact with the biosphere of the blue star......

There is no escaping the genetic question about the blue star biosphere.

Facing everyone's eyes, Ye Ming exhaled lightly and smiled: "Okay, I know what everyone is thinking. Isn't it cognate theory? ”

Tang Haowen laughed.

Yes, he asked, mainly because there is a mainstream saying at present-this statement is actually widely circulated after Ye Ming proposed "the universe is designed" last time.

It is the creatures of the entire universe, which are actually homologous.

Similarly, everything was born in the cradle of life in the universe.

Of course, for religious lovers, this becomes the "basis" for having a "creator god".

"At present, in terms of DNA analysis of the corpses of the Blue Star Humans, the DNA difference between them and humans is greater than that of mice. But admittedly, there are indeed similarities. ”

"But with these alone, you definitely can't pull it to the homology side."

"That ......"

"I am more inclined to think that if the Creator has given similar cradles and conditions for the birth of life, then similar biological structures must be born." Ye Ming paused and looked at Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei: "You guys are engaged in materials, you must know this better than me." ”

Zhou Xiangnan and Sheng Fei looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time.

Yes, the environment of the Azure Star is very similar to that of the Earth, not only in its "human" habitable zone, but also in its rotation and orbital periods.

Then, it is logical that the earliest amino acids were born.

"That's a good thing!" Sheng Fei then looked at Ye Ming: "Isn't it?" ”

Ye Ming exhaled lightly and nodded with a smile.

Yes, if you look at it from an evolutionary point of view, of course it's a good thing!

And...... It's still a great thing!

Even because its significance is too significant, the research group has not dared to publicize it - whether it is the same life form born from the same source or the same environment, as long as they follow the law of life development, then they can provide valuable experience for human beings at the biological level!

This experience will perhaps be the most crucial aid to human evolution.

But how to say it?

Scientific ethics is like a heavenly rule there.

Therefore, no one dared to say more, or even say more than half a sentence.

Only some "scientists" or hobbies with big brains in the folk dare to mention it occasionally...... Scientists, that's really hard to mention.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, it seems that the landing procedure has begun."

……

As the screen switches to the command hall, it also means that the probe has started the landing procedure.

When the countdown was over, the probe successfully released its parachute.

Gradually, the mountains of the blue star approached, the earth flattened, and the lush greenery appeared in front of me.

The landing site was on a high green plain.

When the image in front of them shook for a while, everyone in the café held their breath at the same time.

"Landing successful!"

With the deep announcement of Director Zhang on TV, Ye Ming took the lead in applauding.

Then, he stood up and strode downstairs to his office.

- Next, he will participate in the first out-of-cabin exploration through remote means.

……

"Sister Mo, are you excited?"

Ye Ming put down his chair, put on VR glasses while half-lying down, switched to the first vision of the detector, and connected to Mogu's call channel.

"Hmm!" Mogu hummed softly, but anyone could hear the nervousness and excitement in her voice: "Don't make small talk yet, I'll arrange environmental monitoring." ”

"Uh-huh, you go on."

Ye Ming smiled, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the picture in front of him carefully.

The height of the probe is close to 30 meters, and the location of the landing is exactly the "highland" part of the "bulge" in a jungle.

Looking around from the probe lens, there are lush jungles and large areas of green vegetation, and even at the feet of the probe, there are quite a few vines.

At this time, the blue star is in the afternoon, the sun is shining in the sky, and a "jade belt" can be vaguely seen around the sky.

Well, that's the ring in orbit around the Azure Star moon.

A little farther away, you can clearly see the ruined city in the sky.

Ye Ming's ears kept hearing Mogu's commands.

"Preparing for gas collection and analysis."

"Prepare for soil collection and analysis."

"Zhangju, are the drones ready?"

"Oh, that's going to release the drone."

"Everyone must pay attention to environmental isolation, especially to leave the last safe earth environment for experimental animals. Don't think of mice and dogs as ordinary animals, but as creatures of the earth......"

In Mogu's calm instructions, a smile also appeared on the corner of Ye Ming's mouth.

As the commander-in-chief of biological exploration, it stands to reason that she, who is studying medicine, is a bit out of line with her profession, but considering that she is solely responsible for the most important earth creatures, no one objected when Ye Ming proposed it.

Now it seems that Mogu really works.

Just when Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a sharp whistling sound sounded in his ears.

Hearing this voice, Ye Ming was subconsciously stunned, and when he realized that this was from the Azure Star, he immediately sat up straight.

After a while, Mogu's voice sounded again: "Quick, release the drone!" ”

Immediately afterwards, she added: "Ye Ming, drone number T13." ”

Ye Ming understood, and immediately instructed Aita to adjust the main screen to the T13 drone.

The picture sinks for a moment, then rises high.

And then...... Ye Ming saw that from the dense forest below the mountain, a group of huge flying animals jumped out of the jungle with a roar and came towards the drone.

They resemble dragonflies, mosquitoes, and locusts.

But their size is so large that it is intimidating, and in the vision of drones, they are like a group of heavy fighters.

"it!" Ye Ming subconsciously tilted his head back.

The sound of the howling wind swept in my ears.

In an instant, Ye Ming could even see the furry claws under this flying creature clearly.

Fortunately, the drone was controlled by Aita, and it easily dodged the attack of this group of uninvited guests, and then descended again.

"it!" Mo Gu's voice also sounded in a low voice: "Giant Worm Era! Ye Ming! Age of the Giant Bug! ”

Ye Ming exhaled vigorously and nodded slowly.

Yes, the upfront analysis is correct.

The current oxygen content of the Azure Star is at an extremely high concentration, so it ...... Insects that resemble the Earth can easily get enough oxygen to maintain their large size.

The wings of the animal just now were already nearly two meters apart.

"So how do you study it? Catch one? Ye Ming took two hard breaths and joked with a smile.

"Grab a shovel! It's over...... The age of giant insects is the world of insects, and there are not many mammals. Although he said that he was finished, Mo Gu's tone was obviously full of excitement and excitement, and there was no frustration of "finishing" at all.

"Not necessarily, don't use the biology and ecology of the earth to imagine a whole new planet."

And with Ye Ming's voice, as if to make a note, in the jungle below, another high-pitched roar appeared in his ears.

If the whistling sound just now is similar to that made by insects, then this sound ...... It sounds like it's coming from ...... Throat.

After Ye Ming heard the voice, he decisively took over the control of the drone and let Aita control it to fly low.

After passing over a not-so-dense canopy, the drone descends slowly.

A huge beast eight meters tall appears in the drone's footage.

With four legs, a long neck, and a huge head, the giant beast resembles a combination of a giraffe and a dinosaur.

At this time, its two eyes were crowded into the center of its head, staring at the drone in a daze.

Its eyes are visibly full of doubts and incomprehension.
